Drop us a Card. _ A Funny Enoch Arden Case. 9 A curious Enoch Arden case, il which the Lord Justices of Appeal bud to intervene in order to bringa man to life again legally, has just been decided in England.` Fortygtwo years ago 8 woman married a sailor in the British navy, who deserted`, wept to the United States, and was not heard `of -gain for thirty-six yeare. Six years after his `disappearance she married another man. with whom she livedfor eighteen years: but from whom `she at last obtained 9- judicial separation and alimony in 1892- '].`he' `second huband pleaded that his mar_!'iage~wiaa null, as her first husband Wealiv_e`_at the time , but the jury in diireteeloourt found that the -man . `Last your husband No. '3 `di`8_0.Y81jOd '__h31eh_and N0. 1. brought Suit Tlgain, and produced him in court; 1whf_epa?- fully identied, but the a_ jury - had declared entire length. This air chamber, the inventor says, gathers air under strong pressure, caused by the rigid flight of the bullet, and the air expanding, when the bullet nds its mark, causes an explosion cf great destructive force. VVhateVer the principle of the inventor the projectile is said to have shown remarkable results. Inch boards, which would be pierced by ordinary solid bullets of the same calibre, are splintered and torn with great violence by the perforated bullet. Cans filled with water and sealed were simply pierced by an ordinary bullet, but were blown into fragments when struck by the new projectile. .The usual effect, witnesses say, is for the bullet to tear in the object hit a hole from seven to ten times the size of the bullet. And We will endeavor to please you. N 0 t h i n g known to the trade we are not familiar with ; and our prices are reasonable. Nd ,_ ___-.-, To attain this disappointing result there were employed 8,336 teachers, whose sa.la.ries amounted to $2,722.ll6. The additional expenses paid for maps, apnaratus, sites, buildings, etc., brought the total. expendi- ture for the public schools alone for one year up to the enormous sum of $4,076,241.

In hi pamphlet on our educational system, the Deputy Minister of Education states that the number of pupils registered (pre- sumably for the year 1892, as the pamphlet is dated 1893) was 491.841, but t-hat the av- erage attendance amounted only to 257,642. In other, words. about one half the number of pupils entitled and compellable to be ed- ` ucated, and whose education was being paid for by our ta.xpayers,were receiving but little in the way of education II` A .II I .'

A lady brought it to the bank of California to be cashed. It was in a paper box. and had to be handled very carefu-ly, -for it was la ; two pieces, and both were burned to a crisp. A There was not a decipherable word on either Epiece. The lady said that the bits of crisp `paper represented acheck for $125, which j she had received in a letter. The check, she said. was drawn by the National Bank `of D 0. Mills, of Sacramento. She had_re- moved the letter from the envelope and had Iqhrown the envelope on some live coals in i the grate. Upon reading the letter, she ghall found a reference to an inclosure of a "check for the sum named, and turned to the re in theqrate with sore disappointment_ The re had done its work. The crisp paper lay on the coals. `She carefully re-V moved the same, placed it in a box, and hur- ried to the Bank of California to get the money before the pieces were further erum- bled. A - .

Of the 128 high schools and collegiate institutes established up to the date of the pamphlet, 48 are said to be free, and the fees in the others varied from $2 50 to $26.00 per year. What we are concerned to know is that they are costing the country--over and above what the pupils pay-more than $800,000 a year. (See' reports of the Minister of Education for 1894, at page 6.) And with what result? During the last year reported, 413 pupils from the high schools and collegiate insti- tutes matriculated, 400 joined the learned professions, such as law and medicine, 1,202 left for mercantile life, 974 for agriculture, and 1,605 became teachers.

Do we realize that} their personalities are the result of the (ice. 3 perate desire of the new classes, to whom democratic institutions have given their ` first chance, to discover the way to live, in the wide social meaning of the word? The 3 hour belongs to these classes. Their ideals ; ' are becoming more and more the ideals of'5 all masses of society, and what they are` chiey eager for is not ideas but palpable 1 realities. What the man wants who newly 1 nds himself with incalculably increased material opportunities before him is not, at` i first, thoughts that will strengthen his hold 1 upon the eternal verities. No. It is infor- ` mation that will put him in direct touch with the actualities of the passing hour; ii information that wiilvteach him all about : his environment, and what he is to do there, . and how he is to conduct himself in order 4 to keep the place that he has got, and to ex- I tend it, to push himself farther on.-From l l The Ethics of Modern Journalism, by!"

I Lighting by Induction. A hopeof Tesla and other electricians is that induction lighting may be made more economical than the incandescent lamp. Improvement in this direaion. has been. sought by Mr. D- McFarlan Moore, of Newark, N._ J ., through a sharper and more- rapid breaking of an ordinary electric cur- rent ;, and by using a -mechanical circuit- breaker in a vacuum tube, placed with an `induction coil in a direct current incandes- cent lighting circuit at l10 vclts, he has ob- tained a brilliant whiteliit in long vacuum tubes without expensive apparatus. The ends of the A tubes, which are without elec- trodes, are coated with aluminum powder. The tubes are normally joined in the circuit by wires outside, but even this is-not neces- sary, as they maybe illuminated` by being -brought near a wire netting in the circuit. Western Prices for Harses. The great decrease in the value of horses in the west in recent years is well shown by the results of of recent auction sale at Pomona. Cal. The animals sold were not rough horses` from the range, but good car- riage and work stock. Sesieralhorses which five years ago would have brought $80 or $90 were sold for.85 to $7. ,'1`eams of car- risge horses that would have brought $140 to $130 in 1892 sold for $42, `and a number. `of V "large, well formed; `fairly well. bred horses sold for en. avera g6..of $30 apiece, although 7:: few years they: would -have .been'che_a-p @|_lf_$slo.(`j`to 120.` .......--.~.

If we should break the tiny lament of an Edison incandescent . lamp at the middle of the glowing loop, ; the light would go out. If, now, we iconnect the two ends of the broken. llament to the poles of a battery of a great many thousand voltaic cells, such jas are commonly used to ring house- bells, we should be able to light the "lamp again, not by incandescence, but !by a feeble` glow which pervades the ' whole bulb." The ends of the broken ` lament would glow-and_ the glow at one end of the lament would be differ- ; ent in appearance from that of the I other. The broken lament, by means 5 of which the electrical energy enters the bulb, is called the anode, and the means of which, in ordinary language, it leaves the bulb, is called the cathode. Now the great peculiarity of the ca- thode rays is this--they seem to be in- dependent of the position of the anode, and they stream out fromthe cathode like the beam of a search-light, strik- ing the walls of the enclosing vessel.- !

There is in the minds of many parents in this city a belief which is conrmed by the reports of thelr children`, that very many `teachers, both in the Public schools and Collegiate Institutes, have acquired the very -pernicious habit of loafing at their work. 1 It is not for one moment intended to convey , the impression that all teachers, or even the ,1 majority of teachers, fall under this cate- gory. `But there is absolutely no doubt that ` the charge against a greattnumber is un- doubtedly well founded.
